Thyroid Management at The Piedmont Clinic

Boost metabolism and mental clarity by correcting imbalances. Because when your thyroid is off, everything feels off — and you deserve answers that make sense.

Why the Thyroid Matters More Than You Think

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. But don’t let its size fool you — it controls some of the most important functions in your body, including:
  • Metabolism
  • Energy levels
  • Brain function
  • Weight regulation
  • Mood and mental clarity
  • Hair, skin, and digestion
When it’s out of balance, it can throw your whole system into chaos. The problem? Many people have undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction for years — often being told their labs are “normal” while their symptoms get worse.
At The Piedmont Clinic, we dig deeper.

Signs of Thyroid Imbalance

Thyroid issues can show up in sneaky, overlapping ways. You might be struggling with:
  • Unexplained fatigue
  • Brain fog or memory issues
  • Weight gain (even on a clean diet)
  • Hair thinning or hair loss
  • Cold sensitivity
  • Constipation
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Dry skin, brittle nails, or puffy face
  • Irregular or heavy periods
  • Slow heart rate
Many patients with subclinical hypothyroidism don’t show up on basic tests — which is why we look at the full panel, not just TSH.

Our Approach to Thyroid Testing

We go beyond the surface with comprehensive thyroid labs, including:
  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
  • Free T3
  • Free T4
  • Reverse T3
  • Thyroid antibodies (TPO, TgAb)
  • Ferritin, cortisol, and key vitamins that influence thyroid conversion
These give us a complete picture of what’s going on — so we can build a treatment plan that actually makes a difference.

Thyroid Treatment Options

If your thyroid needs support, we offer:
  • T4-only medications like Synthroid or levothyroxine
  • T3/T4 combo therapy (like Armour or compounded blends) for better energy and mental clarity
  • Nutritional guidance to support thyroid hormone conversion
  • Lifestyle coaching to manage inflammation and autoimmune triggers
  • Ongoing labs and symptom tracking to fine-tune as you go
We work with you to find the dose and delivery method that fits your life — not the other way around.

What Results Can You Expect?

When thyroid levels are corrected, you can expect:
  • Sharper mental clarity and fewer “foggy” days
  • A more stable mood and better emotional resilience
  • Improved metabolism and easier weight management
  • Better sleep and more energy throughout the day
  • Healthier hair, skin, and nails
  • A sense of control and calm coming back to your body
Most patients notice a difference within 4–6 weeks — and we monitor closely to make sure your levels stay optimized.

Who Needs Thyroid Management?

You might benefit from a thyroid evaluation if you:
  • Have a family history of thyroid disorders or autoimmune conditions
  • Are struggling with stubborn weight, mood swings, or fatigue
  • Have “normal” labs but still feel like something’s off
  • Are managing PCOS, menopause, or other hormone changes
  • Have been told it’s “just stress” — but your body says otherwise

You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.

Your thyroid might just be whispering — and we know how to listen.
